The WBSFF is unlike any other film festival, it is a unique opportunity for grass roots film enthusiasts and music video artists to compete on an even playing field. The film festival vision is based on capturing the imagination of musicians, filmmakers and actors at the beginner level creating an opportunity for international exposure while eliminating entry barriers and providing a focus for talent, passion, capability and achievement. - The 2013 Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival
